Today at Commission, a busy week ahead

The Commission’s calendar shows a busy week ahead. And then there’s the Rome summit on Saturday March 25 to mark the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome.

On Wednesday, besides the weekly College meeting, Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker will participate in the inauguration of the monument in memory of the victims of the March 22, 2016 Brussels attacks.

He will also deliver a speech in memory of Patricia Rizzo, a Commission staffer who died in the terrorist attacks. A Commission source added this would be a private event organized mostly by relatives of Patricia Rizzo.

On the same day, Juncker meets with the Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.

And on Friday morning, Juncker and other EU leaders will already be in Italy for an audience with Pope Francis.
